I'm checking out either a Transit connect or Caddy lwb. Bit more stealth bit more mobile. Ulez charge is forcing something newer. A 2015/16 dispatch is also on the list.

Are you looking to buy them or exchange for the standard single & double combo?

Anyone have experience with after market barrels? Did they work OK after replacing them?

I remember that pain in the arse job from my last expert hence my present mirrors have silicon to stop them vibrating  big_smile

Maybe an obvious question, but where did you put the silicone to stop the vibration on the mirror?

I don't want to glue it so it can't be adjusted!

#9 Re: General Discussion » Replacing Barrel Locks guide » 2021-02-24 12:25:34

Agreed, amazing write up.

On a side note, we're the barrels you replaced after market or from an old model?

#10 Re: Camper Conversions » Captains chairs - selling » 2021-02-24 00:59:39

Will sort pics of the chairs and van shortly. Ideally looking to sell van but assumed everyone here would already have something.

Cheers, yes iv come across what you did in your engine by and I would love to do the same, though I'm struggling to find someone that can sort it for me! I only want 4 small led spot lights in the back of my van running at Watts: 0.2 Each apparently so I'm hoping I can keep my battery size down, unless i can magic more room.

#13 Re: Camper Conversions » Leisure battery - How small is too small?? » 2017-07-27 23:21:23

Cheers guys. Im not looking for something that needs to last for hours in a row. A bit of bed time reading, a little music and a quick boast of power for the phone.

Im looking for a leisure battery to go ideally in the front of my Dispatch (engine bay) perhaps with a little jimmy-ing of the window washer fluid pipe! As I'm only looking to run a few lights (6 max) and a usb charger (iPhone) how small could I go, assuming i was only camping for a couple of days?

I been told a 40ah would do but also no smaller than a 80ah! Any help with this would be great!

#15 Re: Camper Conversions » Peugeot Expert 55 Plate - MY VANSION » 2017-07-23 23:14:30

wow and wow! very nice build. Im looking for some help with a basic leisure battery/light fit. Any recommendations?

#16 Re: Camper Conversions » Fitting a basic leisure battery - Suggestions? » 2016-09-14 23:07:23

Wow they are pretty tight on the back! But look good.

I do believe that the 807 came with either 15 inch or 16 inch I believe. So should both fit. Like Vaz212 says check your wheel studs too.


Any chance of a picture? Would love to see what they look like.

Follow the link below to see the rears up close. Close but been running them now for over a week and no issues.

Wow they are pretty snug aren't they?!

How did that effect your insurance, if any?

#19 Re: Camper Conversions » Fitting a basic leisure battery - Suggestions? » 2016-09-10 21:41:35

So are you saying if I want to 'plug' anything in with a conventional 3 pin plug i need an inverter?

#20 Re: Camper Conversions » Fitting a basic leisure battery - Suggestions? » 2016-09-10 19:52:23

...and if I want a  "240 volt plug socket" (regular plug thing) i'll need some inverter business happening?

Would a kit like this be straight forward?

http://www.megavanmats.com/apps/webstor … ow/5133071

Would I need a fuse for every light I use? Socket I use?

#21 Re: Camper Conversions » Fitting a basic leisure battery - Suggestions? » 2016-09-10 19:32:43

Ok another question. Do you have any experience with adjusting the infamous side doors? As in removing the top runner arm and housing, potentially giving it a little bend or sinching in to take away the gap that a lot of people seem to be suffering from?

BTW msmith. This is how simple it is to install the split charge in the link

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sqcFu … 19-h460-no

The three red wires from the fuse box i have one powering the lights and lights earthed on the van body. One powering the USB/Power sockets and earthed on van body and another powering a 2nd stereo. You dont have to have the fuse box. You just need to put a fuse on the live wire to each items. The fuse box just keeps thing neat.

The red wire brom battery to split charge and the wire from split charge to leisure battery should have a fuse. These are provided with the kit and so it full instructions. Go for it.

Thanks again, looking at this its hard to see why I wouldn't do it myself! You think just getting one of the standards kits or the individual components is the way to go?

Cheers but the 897 are actually 15inchers and are advertised as 215/65/R15, i assume because my Dispatch is 205/65/15R they won't fit?

Would you happen to know if any wheel (alloy) measuring 215 65 15 will fit a 54 plate dispatch? Iv heard wheels off an alfa fit but Iv also seen the Peugeot 807 wheel look like they have the same spec and now iv come across Kia/land rover.

I assume with the tyre size your van  is already fitted with 15" steel wheels......... The Alloys on my van are after market (can't remember make ) .....
The wheel fitment that Casper posted  looks correct from memory  ............ 807 wheels I think are all 16" and would need something like a 205/55/16


The Land Rover and Kia wheels will have wrong PCD so won't fit

you might find this useful

whatever alloys you buy just make sure to use correct wheel bolt and don't assume steel wheel nuts/bolts will do
